Maybe I've just suffered brain damage from being convinced by this model for the past two years, but I literally cannot see any other way to do it that makes any sense.
Once you banish the idea of `global` or `objective` from your head, everything becomes clear. It might just be a fact that "onboarding" in a decentralized network is going to be fundamentally different (call it "worse") than with centralized "networks". We should be careful in comparing decentralized onboarding solutions to their centralized cousins - it's apples and oranges.
And this might be a wonderful thing. If I'm joining a highly-personal and localized network (maybe it's a little mini app for a local club that is built on nostr), it _should_ feel quiet and intimate. Maybe _all_ software and social networking applications should feel like that. It might be that the thirst for "wide reach" and "global discovery" are exactly the agents that poison the well.
